Android Studio – How do I access an image as a Drawable in AndroidStudio?

I’m working on an android app using java in AndroidStudio. I have an ImageView pic and I want to set its image as a .png that I have saved in my /drawable folder. I may try

pic.setImageDrawable(R.drawable.image_name);

However, setImageDrawable() requires a Drawable, while R.drawable.image_name returns an Integer (the ID of the image).

How may I resolve this?

    You can use setImageResource() for this:

    pic.setImageResource(R.drawable.image);

    Use this for java

    ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.drawable_resource_name);

    and then set this drawable to your image view
